Sleep regression advice

DS (dear son) has always been a great sleeper, but the past week and a half he has been waking up 4-5 times a night crying and isn’t able to put himself back to bed as he usually does. He just got his top teeth, so I think the pain could have something to do with it, but we’ve also noticed some separation anxiety kicking in. I’m wondering if that could have an impact too. So last night DH (dear husband) and I let DS (dear son) sleep with us because I’ve just been exhausted all week and he slept amazing. He has slept in his crib in his own room since about 2.5 months, so I don’t want him to get in the habit of sleeping with us, but man it felt great for all of us to get some solid sleep! Any advice from btdt moms?

my daughter does this! it's so exhausting.. she has an ear infection so I think that's why. I think I'm just going to let her sleep in need with us until she gets better. she needs the cuddles

Aww poor baby I hope she feels better! He sometimes tugs at his ears but I attributed that more to his top teeth coming through. If it doesn’t get better in a couple days I’ll bring him in to get checked out!

me and her dad thought it was teething too, but nope. Dr. confirmed ear infection 😪

she was also having periods where she was very warm. no fever, but that was because of the infection
